Long-term effects of mobile exoneuromusculoskeleton (ENMS)-assisted self-help telerehabilitation after stroke.

Investigation on long-term effects of robot-assisted poststroke rehabilitation is challenging because of the difficulties in administration and follow-up of individuals throughout the process. A mobile hybrid neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)-robot, i.e.

Examining Eye Tracking Metrics and Cognitive Function in Post-Stroke Individuals: A Comparison of Visual Searching Tasks between Those with and without Cognitive Impairment.

Introduction: After a stroke, individuals commonly experience visual problems and impaired cognitive function, which can significantly impact their daily lives. In addition to visual neglect and hemianopia, stroke survivors often have difficulties with visual search tasks. Researchers are increasingly interested in using eye tracking technology to study cognitive processing and determine whether eye tracking metrics can be used to screen and assess cognitive impairment in patients with neurological disorders.

The Translation of Mobile-Exoneuromusculoskeleton-Assisted Wrist-Hand Poststroke Telerehabilitation from Laboratory to Clinical Service.

Rehabilitation robots are helpful in poststroke telerehabilitation; however, their feasibility and rehabilitation effectiveness in clinical settings have not been sufficiently investigated. A non-randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate the feasibility of translating a telerehabilitation program assisted by a mobile wrist/hand exoneuromusculoskeleton (WH-ENMS) into routine clinical services and to compare the rehabilitative effects achieved in the hospital-service-based group ( = 12, clinic group) with the laboratory-research-based group ( = 12, lab group). Both groups showed significant improvements ( ≤ 0.

Exploratory Study on the Clinical use of EEG for the People with Chronic Stroke and Their Correlation with the Neuropsychological Outcome.

To measure the EEG signals of the people with chronic stroke in eyes-closed and eyes-open condition and study their relationship with the cognitive function and mental wellbeing. The investigators would conduct cognitive and mental wellbeing tests on recruited subjects. Their EEG signal was acquired by the 16-channel EEG system.

Bilateral upper limb training with functional electric stimulation in patients with chronic stroke.

Background: The recovery rate of upper limb function after stroke is poor when compared with independent walking. Therefore, effective methods are warranted for upper limb rehabilitation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of functional electric stimulation (FES) with bilateral activities training on upper limb function.
